MOUNTAINBIKE FULLY

Full-suspension mountain bikes for 2017: Find your mountain bike!

A full-suspension mountain bike or a hardtail? Not such an easy choice, is it? That’s where you’re wrong! FOCUS helps you decide which full-suspension mountain bike is the right one for you.

When should you opt for a full-suspension mountain bike?

A full-suspension mountain bike gives you greater safety and comfort if you’re taking on demanding Alpine descents or lots of technical home trails. A full-suspension mountain bike relieves the strain on your body. What’s more, a full-suspension mountain bike also offers greater traction and reserves on your mountain bike adventures. How, you might ask? Well, due to its suspension, a full-suspension mountain bike’s rear wheel has better contact with the ground. The suspension compensates for any obstacles.

In short, the benefits of a full-suspension mountain bike primarily take effect when you ride over rough and rugged terrain.

Full-suspension mountain bikes have different suspension travels. Generally speaking, the more suspension travel, the rougher the terrain you can take on. 100 mm is mainly used for technically demanding cross-country races, while 120 mm is used for trail rides. 140 mm is the classic suspension travel of an all-mountain bike for Alpine tours; a 160 mm suspension, meanwhile, is used on endurance mountain bikes.

What are the special features of FOCUS full-sussers?
